"We had a roof that needed cap shingle replacement prior to the sale of the home due to degradation of the previous shingles of the wrong type. Weather Pro Exteriors had someone out quickly to provide an estimate and they were able to schedule the repair within a week. The customer service was excellent and they were easy to work with. Pricing was significantly lower than another quote I received and we are happy with the work performed. Very personable and responsive!"

"The AD Roofing crew showed up on their scheduled day on time (in fact they were even a little early!) and got to work right away. Their team communicated and updated me during the process and cleaned up after themselves before they left for the day. Their price was very competitive and I would highly recommend AD Roofing to anyone that needs roofing work done! Good job!!!"

"Very effective transactions including initial estimates/explanations of work to be done; and followed-up with scheduling and execution of roofing tearoff / new shingles and vents applied efficiently on house and shed. The flat sun roof area was pressure washed and resealed and a new chimney chase cap was formed and installed efficiently. Want to thank the roofing team (Ernesto and Victor and associates)for their installation knowhow, and the project manager (Brad) for coordination and attention to details in finishing the job quickly to our satisfaction."

"My roof replacement project was difficult from the start as I had cantankerous renters in the house that required me to postpone the project until after the renters moved out in mid-December.  Second, I live in Oklahoma City and my project was in Delafield, Wisconsin.  So I needed a contractor that was willing to hold his price until the spring and one that I could trust to competently handle the entire project while working with me over emails and phone calls.  Cory was just what I needed. He was professional and accommodating and extremely easy to work with.  He had tough site access conditions and even volunteered to shovel the driveway of my vacated property (no charge) so he could deliver materials and get started early in the spring.  Cory sent me pictures of his progress and when 100% complete so I could verify quality and completeness prior to releasing payment.  He delivered a quality job on schedule, cleaned up and there were no surprises. His price was the lowest competitive price also so I had the best of all worlds.  I highly recommend LeFever Roofing for any project Cory is interested in bidding and intend to use him again whenever a need for his work arises."

"The work crew showed up on the day promised, and worked quickly to pull three layers of roof off. The new roof was installed professionally, as well as a new ridge vent. All requests were fulfilled, and there were no surprise costs."

"We are so happy with our new roof !! (See pictures from the Mequon job posted by JRV in May, 2018.) The color is Shenandoah Landmark Pro. Since installation, we have been fascinated by the kaleidoscope of colors in this shingle during the different hues of the daylight hours. Josh and his crew did an awesome job! The project was explained thoroughly and we felt completely at ease from signing the contract through the completion of the job. The cost quoted was the best price out of the five quotes for comparable labor and materials. The crew was organized, efficient, thoughtful, neat & tidy. We are completely satisfied and thoroughly confident in recommending JRV Roofing!!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Saukville, WI

A typical heat cable uses 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses 500 watts per hour. Expect to pay an additional $40 to $200 or more per month on your electricity bill. Be sure to turn manual cables off in the summer when you don't need them.

To install heat tape on your roof, place it along the lower edge in a precise zig-zag pattern to maximize coverage and heat distribution. Professional installers secure the tape with specialized clips that attach firmly to your shingles. This method ensures even heat distribution to effectively melt ice and snow while maintaining your roof's integrity during severe winter conditions.

Choosing between heated gutters and roof heating cables usually comes down to budget, appearance, and performance. Heated gutters cost less to install and blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior, making them a discreet, lower-cost option for preventing ice dams. Roof heating cables deliver more customizable and powerful heat along roof edges to handle heavy snow and ice, but they require more material and labor, increasing your upfront investment. Evaluate your roof design, winter weather demands, and energy budget to select the system that works best for your property.

Roof heating cables prevent ice dams by melting snow and stopping ice buildup at the roof edge. Ice damming occurs when melting snow refreezes on a cold roof—often right above the gutter line—and blocks water from draining, which can force moisture under shingles into your home. Heating cables maintain a warm channel that clears ice dams as soon as they form and protects your roof from water damage and structural issues.

Roof heating cables last between two and ten years before replacement is needed, wearing out faster than your roof itself. Their lifespan depends on climate severity, cable type, and exposure to physical damage. Consistent inspections and preventative maintenance—such as clearing debris, tightening clips, and checking electrical connections—can extend their service life and ensure reliable snow and ice protection each winter.

To safely remove snow from your roof, start with a specially designed roof rake, standing firmly on the ground and pulling snow downhill rather than climbing onto the roof. You can also apply calcium chloride ice melt to break up stubborn ice or gently use a secured rope from a safe vantage point. 

Keep in mind that large snow slabs can weigh hundreds of pounds and pose a serious fall risk. If conditions are hazardous or you lack the right equipment, hire a professional to protect your safety and your roof’s integrity.
